Chapter 44: Nasty people
Li Jixiang took the bath ticket handed out from the small window, turned around and didn't notice and bumped into the arms of the woman lined up behind her.
She bowed her head and apologized, and when she saw a pair of white leather shoes under her nose, she immediately looked up at the woman.
Sure enough, it was the woman who was sad in front of Li Haiyang's tombstone on Qingming Day.
For three nights of sleeping on a big kang with An Chen's mother, no matter how Li Jixiang threw the topic to guide, An Chen's mother only revealed that the woman's name was Wang Fang, and refused to say a word more.
"Auspicious ......"
Grandma Li looked at the ticket window from the door of the women's bathroom, and when she saw Wang Fang, she retracted her head again, faced the door panel, and covered her face with one hand, hoping that her granddaughter would come back soon.
She didn't want to meet Wang Fang, she was afraid of recalling that sad past.
"Grandma, let's go inside."
Li Jixiang handed the bath ticket to Grandma Li, and turned sideways to let Wang Fang go in first. Grandma Li had to come face to face with Wang Fang.
"Aunt Li is good."
Wang Fang lowered her eyes and called softly, and hurriedly walked over from Grandma Li.
Looking at Wang Fang's thin back and disappearing at the entrance, Grandma Li pulled Li Jixiang and didn't want to enter the door.
"My feet are inconvenient, so I finally came here, so I went in and washed."
coaxed and coquettish, and finally invited Grandma Li into the bathhouse.
I always felt that it was unhygienic for a group of people to take a bath in the big bath, and Grandma Li liked to soak in the pool, so she had to endure the discomfort in her heart and sit in the big pool together.
Today, the faucets in the shower area were broken several times, and the large bath seemed to have twice as many people as usual.
Almost everyone has a towel on their shoulders and a towel on their head.
People sit next to each other, and others walk around in the middle of the pool.
Go to the innermost part near the water inlet and feel that the water will be cleaner.
Without waiting for Grandma Li to do it, Li Jixiang obediently learned to look like him and wrapped his hair in a towel. Closed her eyes and meditated, thinking that this body was not her Li Tian'er's, and the discomfort of the pool water slapping on her body gradually disappeared.
Someone was pumping water in the cistern behind her, and the splashes hit her face from time to time, and Li Jixiang had to open her eyes. The man smiled apologetically and walked away with the basin of water.
At this time, I saw Wang Fang squatting in the corner, seriously scooping water to wash her body.
Li Jixiang smiled at Wang Fang lying on the edge of the pool.
The bathroom was steamy, and there were blurry shadows in the white mist, but Li Jixiang and Wang Fang were close, and her smile fell into Wang Fang's eyes, and Wang Fang had to smile back with a friendly smile.
The smile was only for a moment, and then it returned to the loneliness and sadness on her face.
After spending less than an hour in the bathhouse, Grandma Li was in a hurry to go home. When dressing in the locker room, by mistake, Grandma Li's suitcase and Wang Fang's suitcase were next to each other.
The two inevitably met again, and this time Wang Fang nodded slightly at Grandma Li as a greeting, and did not say another word.
Grandma Li had a cold face, deliberately avoided eye contact with Wang Fang, put her clothes on her body three times and two times, and pulled Li Jixiang out of the bathhouse. After walking far away, she reached out to straighten the buttons and hem of her clothes, obviously she was afraid of intersecting with Wang Fang again.
Grandma Li has always been enthusiastic about people, but her attitude towards Wang Fang is confusing.
"Grandma, you seem to hate Aunt Wang Fang very much, didn't she provoke you before?"
Inevitably curious, she pretended to be a child.
"She didn't mess with me."
Grandma Li's tone was angry and her expression was displeased.
"That's what she messed with my dad, right?"
Li Jixiang looked at Grandma Li's face innocently.
Grandma Li was silent for a while, then let out a long sigh.
Li Jixiang did not give up and continued to ask.
"She provoked the ocean and abandoned the ocean, otherwise the ocean would not have been sick......"
Grandma Li's eyes were wet. Li Jixiang hurriedly handed her a handkerchief to wipe her tears, she pretended to be windy and blew her eyes, but the sadness in her eyes could not be concealed.
"Grandma, just tell me, I'm grown up, and I want to know about my dad's past. What kind of person he is, what he likes, I miss him......"
Li Jixiang's words touched Grandma Li's heart, and she looked up at the sky.
The afternoon sun cast a shadow through the white hair on her forehead and the wrinkles on her cheeks, and Grandma Li opened her mouth to say something and swallowed it back.
"Let's go home, it's hard to talk about that on the road."
At the entrance of the auspicious tofu factory, An Ning's bicycle is parked on the pillar next to the door.
At this time, the school has not yet ended, why did An Ning come back?
An Chen's mother was reprimanding An Ning in front of the stone mill, and when she saw Grandma Li and Li Jixiang coming in, she put down the feather duster she was holding high and sighed again and again.
"An Chen's mother, what's wrong? What did An Ning do wrong, you whipped him with a feather duster? ”
Grandma Li snatched the feather duster from An Chen's mother's hand, and motioned for An Ning to stand aside and stop making adults angry.
An Ning twisted her neck with an indomitable expression.
An Chen's mother gritted her teeth, "It's really life and death for me!" An Ning only went to school for a few days before he caused trouble for me, he was expelled from the school, and the school did not let him repeat his studies. ”
"Ah, how can that? An Ning didn't do well in the exam two days ago, why was she punished by the school? ”
Hearing that An Ning was expelled from middle school, Grandma Li was taken aback, and Li Jixiang's heart also chuckled.
"Hun Boy injured the school counselor, and when people sued the school, how could the school not punish him. Hey, he really deserves to be unlucky, how can he beat the mayor's son!
I'm so! His father arranged for him to go to a technical school, but he had to repeat it, and now there is no place for him to study in a technical school, so he can only sell tofu......"
An Chen's mother beat her chest and cried so sadly. Grandma Li comforted and persuaded her that she couldn't give up halfway on the way to study, and she still had to find a way to go back to school.
"What can I do? Our family is a flat-headed ordinary person, and the school didn't let him squat and detain him. ”
"An Chen's mother, why don't you buy something with An Chen's father and go to the principal's house?"
Grandma Li is still more experienced, and in order to let her son become a soldier, she also begged for people a lot.
"Don't buy it, I'm not wrong."
An Ning twisted his neck, his chest undulating.
"Little bastard, you are still hard-mouthed, can't people falsely accuse you?"
An Chen's mother looked around for her feather duster, and found that she was carried behind her by Grandma Li, and reached out to take it back to smoke An Ning. Grandma Li hurriedly changed her hand to avoid her.
"I think you still have to tie the bell to unlock the bell, and you and An Chen's father have to go to the mayor's house for a walk. For the sake of the children, the skin can't be too thin, and the money should not be distressed......"
Li Jixiang finally understood that An Ning was expelled from school entirely because of the moment An Ning opened Chen Yu's hand yesterday afternoon, Chen Yu hit the corner of the wall and broke his forehead.
What a big deal! Chen Yu actually went to the school today to retaliate against An Ning.
No wonder An Ning was not convinced, and her temper also came up. The school can't unilaterally listen to Chen Yu's family in this matter, she is the party concerned, and she has to testify for An Ning.
Chen Yu, this nasty person!
